King’s Hawaiian Food Truck

«Kings Hawaiian» Food Truck debuted at the Honolulu Night market tonight. Kings Hawaiian sweet bread teamed up with the KCC culinary school to think up some great sandwiches. Another thing was that their truck (with California plates) was so cool! The side slid up to expose the counter, an area for iced drinks and big flat screens displaying a very updated twitter and Instagram feed! I felt so instafamous!
The line was long, as most food lines are at Honolulu night market, but it moved rather quickly. The workers were nice and efficient.
Although the menu was relatively small, I thought there were some great ideas. Banh mi sweet bread sandwich with a side of pickled daikon? Sign me up for one of those! For $ 7 it was pretty good. The meat patties reminded me of thai fish cake for some reason, but it wasn’t a bad thing. Will I be back? Ehhhh, maybe. I’d like to try some of the other food trucks more and it definitely reminded me that I need to go back to the KCC dining room for lunch sometime.

When there is a huge line in front of a food truck, it is usually worth the wait and this truck is no exception. I came across this during the Honolulu night market and was drawn in by memories of how delicious King’s Hawaiian sweetbread is. I ended up waiting about 20 minutes in line, and another 15 minutes for food, and I have no regrets. The banh mi sliders ($ 7) were very fresh and I loved the tartness from the lime, the crunch of the carrots, and the juiciness of the crab meat sliders. Even better was the Portuguese bean soup ($ 6). I still am not 100% sure what they put in it but the mellowness of the mushrooms complemented with whatever flavoring they used tasted amazing. The grilled sweetbread was buttery and perfect for the stew. Actually, scratch what I said earlier — my only regret is not ordering another bean stew!
